OwlChemist81 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I believe Black Clover will be moving UP to 11 following the DBZ hour at 10 and 10:30, and something else will take Kai's spot in late June or early July. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a tweet saying they're confirmed to air FLCL at 11:30 PM. This means that if Black Clover does move up, it would only be at 11, and push one of the DBZ shows down to 12:00.

They're not going to expand the block for that when Ghost in the Shell ends two weeks before. Everything should move down after Memorial Day. Speaking of which, if they preempt it for the April Fool's schedule, that would leave it with 8 episodes to air in seven normal weeks before the next holiday. They could rerun the original FLCL for six of them and then double up on GiTS for the last week just like with Bebop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMouse Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Hell yeah, Kari Wahlgren, welcome home! Seeing those visuals and hearing Haruko again gave me so much hype. On 3/20/2018 at 2:28 PM, elfie said: Well it's been like 18 years. Ya gotta expect some changes in Kari's voice. Yup, she's also playing a slightly older version of her character even crashing Earth as a teacher (LOL) in the synopsis, so she and the voice director may be tweaking it on purpose, and even then her "It takes an idiot to do cool things, and that's why it's cool." line at the end sounded very, very much like how she would have said it back then.

OwlChemist81 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) I guess they could just finish off Kai at Midnight. I honestly hadn't thought of that. I guess it also depends on if they desire to keep JoJo at Midnight. If so, then that means Black Clover could fall to 12:30 if no expansion. But to be fair, we don't even know for sure if JoJo will still be at Midnight in April once Cowboy Bebop ends! Unless the new show is a 1:30 show, I don't see how it can be! I'm assuming one of the new shows is truly new and the other is a classic. It would be kinda neat, for instance, if they did this, assuming Re:Zero IS one of the new shows: April 7: 10:30 DBS; 11 DBZK; 11:30 Re:Zero hour-long special; 12:30 JoJo; 1 Gundam; 1:30 HxH; 2 Shippuden; 2:30 Classic; 3 Dandy 3:30 GITS April 14: Same, but Black Clover returns at either 11:30 or Midnight and Re:Zero goes back to 30 minutes. Hey, it's not like Tokyo Ghoul didn't take a break when JoJo was doubled-up last year so we could get to AOT S2 faster!

With the amount of references to the original and the lack of crossover from the staff of the old one makes me still skeptical, but at least S3 looks reminiscent of FLCL.... Stylistically, S2 just looks off, it looks a bit too nornal. Either way, we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasqueradeOverture Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 ^ The crazy one is S2 and the "normal" looking one is S3. It's just that they're reversing the release order in Japan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even then, just because it's about blossoming sexuality doesn't mean the person has to be attracted to Haruko. Didn't Naota have an attraction to the other girls, too? And how can you even tell who the main character is from that? The way it came across to me is that there will be multiple people getting hit by guitars and not just the one person. So it might be a team, and therefore ensemble cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of anime. It would actually be more difficult to make something worse than BC than to make something better. Yeah my confidence is not high for this but I'm definitely going to watch it. The original was only 6 episodes and managed to catch lightning in a bottle and become successful despite not really having much in the way of a coherent plot.
